Things slip away...

[gement]

I think probably two or three times a day, "I should tell LJ about that." I think it instead of, "Wow, that's amazing." When I actually sit down with the energy to post, somehow all the wonders slip through my fingers.

What's kicked me into posting just this second?

I spotted the first meme I've wanted to post in years, because it could have an entertaining long-term effect on my experience of LJ. From beccaelizabeth:

You know LJ lets you make people on your friendslist be colors? One for background and one for writing?

Which colors do you want to be?

Another that's just floated to the surface is a fic recommendation, in case you needed 33k words of modern Sherlock fic. It focuses on sex in what I think of as a constructive and adult way, in between being smokin' hot. I don't post recommendations generally, but I read this novella four times while I was in Italy, when I rarely get around to reading books. The Whore of Babylon Was a Perfectly Nice Girl

Which colors do you want to be?

Plum background, black letters.

You can text posts to LJ. Sometimes I write them down on my phone or scraps of paper.

I thought they got rid of text posting! Anyway, doesn't help, I'm too picky. But always a good suggestions.

ETA: The heathens don't list "plum", but wine-purple was pretty close. Gothlicious!

For me? Red letters on a black background. That's how I roll, yo. ;)

I have you as dark blue letters on a black background, but I can't remember if I asked you what your favorite color was sometime in the past or if I just stuck you with blue.

Neat! I like blue. If you want my most accurate representation, dark green's my signature color.

Dark green it shall be.
